An audience of flowers watch my every move
As I till the soil with gusto making way for something new
Perhaps I’ll plant a foxglove that grows so very tall
Whose flowers in their glory become a huge food store
Or maybe I’ll just grow roses to wander across the scene
And cover up my footprints from the places I have been
But what about petunias I might give them a try
For their beauty is outstanding and full of natures style
A cup of tea is called for and a sit upon my bench
While thinking what to leave out will truly be a wrench
I have some seeds from last year just waiting for their chance
To feel the joy of sunshine that would really make them dance
Oh no I haven’t named them but I’ll just sow and see
The glory that they give me and best of all they are free

Free Miracles

The ebb and flow of money
to me is very strange
just when I think I have enough
life pulls in all the reins
though it’s never stopped me living
in fact I think in time
with nothing in my pockets
new miracles I’ll find
for nature plays her stories
and each one comes for free
plus if I had some money
who knows where I might be
so keep your wealthy mansions
and cars that go so fast
for I’ll immerse in nature
the only thing that lasts.

Thought to Ponder -“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.”- C S Lewis
